I’m kind of stunned by how well this Q*Bert cake (by Karen at Highland Bakery) came together. It’s striking, whimsical, true to the source material, and features adorable little goblins. Basically, everything you could want in a cake.

Personally, I would have been all, “Really? A Q*Bert cake? You sure you don’t want something cooler, like Pac-Man, or Donkey Kong, or that guy who swung on the ropes in Pitfall? No? Well, ok. Good luck with your birthday being ruined by a terrible cake reminding you of your terrible judgment, buddy. P.S. We can’t be friends any more. Friends don’t keep secrets from each other, and you’ve kept from me that you are prone to making stupid decisions. Good luck in your future endeavors and everything. LATER!”
